http://www.advogato.org/person/aristeu/diary.html?start=75gotta love those days you stop and finally learn how to fix<br/>
properly small annoyances that have bugged you for years.<br/>
today was how to add new lines in regular expressions in vim.<br/>
one would think \n is the answer, but it's \r.<br/>

http://www.advogato.org/person/aristeu/diary.html?start=71after spending some time trying to get into advanced mode on
my second iogear KVM, I finally figured out what's wrong.
on the user manual it says:
<p> <i>
<p> 1. press and hold clear key for two seconds.
<p> 2. press and hold minus key [-] key for one second.
<p> 3. release minus key [-] and within one second also release
clear key
<p> </i>
<p> when, in reality it should be:
<p> <i>
<p> 1. press and hold clear key for two seconds.
<p> 2. tap on the minus key.
<p> 3. release clear key shortly after.
<p> </i>

http://www.advogato.org/person/aristeu/diary.html?start=70I'm sick and tired of fixing cosmetic issues trying to add
support to PS3 bluetooth remote to linux (three months
redoing patches). I'll just leave the latest version of the
required patches here. good luck trying to get past the
fashion police.
<p> http://ruivo.org/~aris/ps3_remote/
<p> Yes, the patches do work.
If you have problems _using_ the patches, feel free to contact
me.

http://www.advogato.org/person/aristeu/diary.html?start=69So, the problem is solved.
First off, its SUBSYSTEM is input not usb. We're handling a
evdev device creation, don't forget. The final version:
<br><br>
<i>
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*",
GOTO="wacom_rules"<br>
GOTO="wacom_rules_end"<br>
LABEL="wacom_rules"<br><br>
ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", SYMLINK+="input/wacom"<br>
ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0000",
SYMLINK+="input/wacom-tablets/penpartner
input/wacom-tablets/penpartner-%b"<br>
ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0010",
SYMLINK+="input/wacom-tablets/graphire
input/wacom-tablets/graphire-%b"<br>
(...)<br>
ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0047",
SYMLINK+="input/wacom-tablets/intuos2-6x8a
input/wacom-tablets/intuos2-6x8a-%b"<br>
<br>
LABEL="wacom_rules_end"<br>
</i><br>
<p> ATTR<b>S</b> looks for the file on the parent directories as
well, solving the problem here.
<br>
One note is that if you try to get ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a"
on the first rule to avoid repeating on all rules, it won't
work, no idea why udev behaves this way.

http://www.advogato.org/person/aristeu/diary.html?start=68It's easy to get upset with udev.
On rawhide, the wacom rules simply don't work. The problem is
that now there's no decent way to get Vendor/Product ids when
you receive an eventX creation event. This is needed so the
wacom rules can create /dev/input/wacom-tablets/&lt;model&gt; link.
The current ugly way to fix it is to use ATTR{../id/vendor}.
There must be a better solution. Yes, the rule worked for some
time (BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}==...)

http://www.advogato.org/person/aristeu/diary.html?start=67Spent my last days feeling like crap. Between fury explosions
passing by depression and moments of extreme tension. The
feeling that everything was falling apart. Something was
terribly wrong. First suspect was the fact I don't go to
climbing gym for a week, wrist injury. The lack of exercise
can make me more nervous, but this is not the case: going to
the gym everyday spend some time on treadmill. Coffee. In larger
quantities or a stronger one can lead me to this behavior.
Not the case also, I haven't been drinking more than the usual
nor trying new brands. It could be lack of sleep. Hm, don't
think so. I've been sleeping more than the usual since this
weekend. Imagine trying to debug your brain while wanting to
smash everything around. Not fun.
<p> So, the answer came yesterday at night. I decided last friday
that I wasn't having enough sugar. I'm a kind of person who
prefers anything with salt than a chocolate or candy.
Anyway, while reviewing what I usually eat everyday, I
decided that would be healthy to have some chocolate
everyday, some pieces. But what caffeine does is simply
accelerate the sugar burn and having more than the usual on
my veins made the amount of coffee I usually drink everyday
more effective. This added to some problems I had last days
resulted in a damn hard week.
<p> No more coffee.
<p> for you.
<p> .
<p> .
<p> .
<p> hm, what about dropping the chocolate instead?
<p> hehe

http://www.advogato.org/person/aristeu/diary.html?start=66after some time, I finally decided to do something about
energy saving. I bought one of <a
href="http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BR1200">these</a>
to keep my home server running on constant power outages we
got here. I installed apcupsd daemon and the CGI to provide
informations about the state of battery, etc. I noticed that
my home server - amd64 dual core 3800+, 3 SATA disks -, with
a 19'' TFT monitor, DSL modem and a WRT54GS use 15% of APC
capacity when idle and when I was compressing a big file
with bzip2 (thus using one core, plus two disks (RAID1)) the
usage jumped to 20%! It's 60VA more. Amazing.
